Wiki / Nutmeg

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is the seed of the tropical nutmeg tree from the Moluccas. As an incense, the grated or crushed nut releases a warm, spicy, slightly sweet and narcotic fragrance that penetrates deep into the senses.

In Arabian and Indian incense traditions, nutmeg is used for concentration, meditation and to attract luck and wealth. It is said to sharpen spiritual perception and have a protective spiritual effect. In medieval Europe it was known as a protection against the plague.

Caution: Nutmeg is toxic when consumed in large quantities. Use only small amounts as an incense. Use: Place freshly grated nutmeg on incense charcoal.
